As part of the Med-EcoSuRe project, 3 different buildings of the An-Najah National University, the largest one in Palestine, have recently undergone an energy audit in view of identifying opportunities to reduce energy expense and carbon footprint.
More specifically, the following items were investigated:
The team of An-Najah National University prepared standard templates to evaluate the characteristics of the energy systems and the patterns of energy use for the buildings including data collection from the architectural/mechanical/electrical drawings and/or from discussions with building operators, utility data collection and identification of the fuel types used, analysis of utilities energy use performed by building type and size.
This activity will be followed by the implementation of innovative renewable energy and energy efficiency measures within university buildings resulting in reduced and cleaner energy consumption, which is one of the main objectives of Med-EcoSuRe project.
